Unfortunately, no disclosure contacts were publicly available and we had to resort to emailing random people. The Paradox.ai security page just says that we do not have to worry about security!

Lol, reading that as someone who wants to disclose a vulnerability must be frustrating.

The website says "We worry about security, so you don't have to." (aka some corporate speak) and then links to the company's security@whatever email so this comment from the article author is in extremely bad faith.
